Tell Me About Your Goat "Pop" Doors...

Howdy!

I'm almost done converting our metal workshop into a goat house. We added plywood walls and roof sheathing, insulated the roof, built 2 stalls, and added soffit venting. We just need to put in the windows and the goat door. We already have a people door. This will be from the shed to the pasture (we will be adding a covered porch for them in the spring!).

What do y'all use for goat pop doors? I've planned for a 36" tall x 24" wide opening. I can either have it open outward to the right or open upward on hinges. It can't slide up guillotine-style, unfortunately, simply because the wall isn't quite tall enough.

Thought, ideas, photos are all very much welcome and appreciated!

That's a goat pop door. Wasn't sure what to call it, so I thought about how most folks I know refer to chicken pop doors (the little doors just for chickens).

Love your set up! Do you have a way to close it off, if needed? I have to lock my goats up at night because of predation.
